DEPARTMENT HEAD: Michael Shannon
COUNCIL DISTRICT IMPACTED: Council District 1
SUMMARY:
Councilmember Roberto Trevino requests through a Council Consideration Request (CCR) that City Council, through resolution, direct the Development Services Department to initiate a plan amendment and rezoning to an appropriate land uses and zoning districts for property generally located: 1) South of West Mulberry Avenue, areas adjacent to East Mulberry Avenue, South of Hildebrand and East of McCullough, 2) Areas in the northern portion of River Road inside District 2, just North of their boundary along Mulberry, 3) areas South of Gramercy, North of Ashby, West to Fredericksburg, and East to San Pedro, and 4) South of Culebra Road, north of Leal Street, East to Colorado Street and the western boundary of the district.
